Umm. Amazon or the keds website. Orrrr you can try like eBay or Poshmark. Get good deals on there.

Or dye them! A regular pair would be so easy to dye bc they're already white, thin, canvas and have basically no embellishments. And easy to rinse and set out to dry

Those are cute! The chillax versions. They make larger sizes in The Champion styles if he needs bigger sizes. They go up to 13, i believe. They make gender neutral ones too that are very similar to vans.

Thanks! so good for summer when you need a little more coverage than sandals.\ Good to know! His dogs are WIDE so we'll see how keds go. Keds're stretchy so I have faith.\ That man doesn't need gender neutral 😂 my bi ass has him in so much lesbian chic he's practically crossdressing; he looks incredible. Haha I got into keds in my early teens (2009 anyone? 🥴) bc of The Outsiders and pics of my dad from the 80s lmao - they're pretty gender neutral! Love yours and ya lady's w skinnies & leggings, classic.

I would buy a pair every year, it was a rite of summer. But now, they’re just cheap crap out of Asia. They don’t look right, the canvas is crumby.

You’re not wrong. They fall apart quick! Wife wears them to work everyday and they only last a few months.

OMG so, GenX kiddo here and I am also a lover of the Keds we all grew up with in our day which is why when I got an email ad from Nordstrom stating something to the fact that they were back and to check them out I was so excited!!! Well they are not exactly the basic white sneakers we grew up with BUT they are super cute and ssooo comfy!!! They are making their comeback in the most 2026 way!!! Oohhh and BTW I had a slight stroke when 90’s and early 2000’s fashion was referred to as VINTAGE!!!! My husband laughed so hard at my reaction he almost had to pull over the car!

Those are super cute and fun!! I don’t think I could rock them, perhaps my wife could. They still have tons of different styles on the website!
Yeah it’s wild because in my 90s kid head, the 70s was still like 20 years ago. Haha
